Databook of Adhesion Promoters contains data on the most important products in the use today. Three hundred sixty leading products have been included in this book. The additives belong to 31 chemical groups listed in the table of contents below. The information on each adhesion promoter included in the Databook of Adhesion Promoters is divided into five sections: General information, Physical properties, Health and safety, Ecological properties, and Use & Performance. The data belong to about 150 data fields, which accommodate a variety of information available in the source publications. The description of each section below gives more detail on the composition of information (only major groups of properties are listed for clarity).

In addition to the information on commercial products used as adhesion promoters, there is also available Handbook of Adhesion Promoters which contains theoretical and practical knowledge required to effectively formulate products used in various applications. Both books contain the most recent information available in literature, patents, and published by manufacturers and users of these products.

The book is recommended for readers interested in all aspects of polymers and plastics, with special attention to the development, studies, legislation, and production of coatings, paints, adhesives, sealants, coated fabrics, laminates, conveyor belts, films, inks, tapes, gaskets, electronics, pharmaceuticals, corrosion protection, and many other products.
